Abstract
Structure of the decay [bar over B][0 over s] → J/ψπ[superscript +]π[superscript −] is studied using data corresponding to 3 fb[superscript −1] of integrated luminosity from pp collisions produced by the LHC and collected by the LHCb detector. Five interfering π[superscript +]π[superscript −] states are required to describe the decay: f[subscript 0](980), f[subscript 0](1500), f[subscript 0](1790), f[subscript 2](1270), and f[′ over 2](1525). An alternative model including these states and a nonresonant J/ψπ[superscript +]π[superscript −] component also provides a good description of the data. Based on the different transversity components measured for the spin-2 intermediate states, the final state is found to be compatible with being entirely CP odd. The CP-even part is found to be <2.3% at a 95% confidence level. The f[subscript 0](500) state is not observed, allowing a limit to be set on the absolute value of the mixing angle with the f[subscript 0](980) of <7.7∘ at a 90% confidence level, consistent with a tetraquark interpretation of the f[subscript 0](980) substructure.
